Any Authors out there?

If you're interested in having a bash at writing for the BBC, why not have a go at the
BBC Short Story competition?
You could get your work voiced by best-selling author Ian Rankin, broadcast on BBC radio and published in a book. Fame at last!

Cheers

Afternoon tea

Talking about the stuff, [see previous post] I was lucky enough last week to be taken out for a very civilised afternoon tea at Ston Easton Park which was smashing [not on commission btw ;o)]

We don't normally have 'tea' cos we both work and have separate lunches and then our main meal in the evening when we're both home, so it was a real treat!
We had finger sandwiches, cream tea, a patisserie, and two slices of cake! Phewie!! But it was scrummy and we did try to walk off a bit of it going around the gardens including a beautiful walled garden where they grow their own veggies and fruit for the hotel.

WOW!

If you ever get the chance to go to a concert by this guy....Eric Sardinas, can highly recommend it! We were knocked out by his sheer energy and dynamic guitar playing.

Can't beat a live concert! :o)

In defence of flower arranging...

It seems that the government plans to cut back on non-essential evening courses.... if you want to learn more, take a peek at...
BBC magazine

"More plumbing, less pilates; subsidised precision engineering, not over-subsidised flower arranging, except of course where flower arranging is necessary for a vocational purpose," said the Education Secretary Alan Johnson this week.

It's something I've always wanted to try instead of just shoving flowers in a vase, maybe I'd better hurry up or tho' plumbing could be handy! :o)

Holidays...

Thinking about going somewhere in Cornwall in July. Love the coastline, all the moods of the sea, hidden coves, wild flowers in country lanes, sailing on the Helford Passage. Pasties... icecream, crab sandwiches, fantastic pubs an' restaurants, yep, can't wait. Anyone got any

special memories of Cornwall?
